US President Donald Trump revealed that the US secretly transported 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed by Iran since February 28.
Trump disclosed the operation during a press briefing, stating that the US executed a secret mission to support oil tankers and commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
He credited his efforts to maintaining the price of crude oil below $90 per barrel, instead of surging above $200.
Trump also claimed that Iran was unaware of the operation, saying 'You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now.'
